Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
3D Printed Breast Models in the Surgical Management of Breast Cancer
Summary
To learn if providing a 3-D printed model of the breast can help breast cancer patients make decisions related to their care. During this study, some study participants will receive the 3-D printed model and some study participants will receive traditional breast imaging scans to learn if the 3-D printed model
Full Description
Primary Objective:
•The objective of this prospective study is to determine the impact of 3D printed breast models, compared to 2D imaging, on breast cancer patients' decisional conflict related to treatment decision-making.
Secondary Objective:
To observe if patients will change their initial desired surgical option (mastectomy versus lumpectomy) after viewing the 3D printed models
To evaluate the quality of the communication between surgical providers and patients with and without the 3D printed models
To assess the surgical outcome including the margin status
To evaluate patient satisfaction and well-being post-surgery between the 3D printed model group and the control group as well as mastectomy versus lumpectomy subgroups
To assess surgical providers' response to the acceptability and utility of the model
